whether you believe it or not you know some Glenn Miller. it's that big band tune thats the score to your happy go lucky morning when 101S/Highland Avenue were flowing, as you're about to enjoy your first cup of coffee only to realize a coworker has left a box of portos in the kitchen to share...or when you're on the receiving end of a wink and smile you'll hear Glenn Miller's music. during the age of the cola wars, nintendo, hypercolor and r&b/pop boy bands Big Band swing couldn't contend to the distraction of the time. nevertheless, i played the clarinet. however, not until after my formative years did i realize the power of the big band. According to wikipedia, "A big band is a type of musical ensemble associated with playing jazz music and which became popular during the Swing Era from the early 1930s until the late 1940s" no wonder people were gung ho about the war and why America was "the victors" the soundtrack of the time was orchestrated by Glenn Miller. what do we have? autotune and samples? music inspires and motivates to be a better person. i suppose sex, drugs and rock n roll sell rather than the former.
GLENN MILLER
enjoy the music.
